The UK left the European Union on the night of January 31 to February 1.
Earlier, UK Ambassador to Ukraine Melinda Simmons said in a video message that the United Kingdom will remain a good friend and reliable partner of Ukraine even after the country leaves the EU.
She noted that Britain hopes to deepen and expand cooperation with Ukraine in the coming years. This requires the signing of a new bilateral agreement between Britain and Ukraine on trade and political relations, the work on which is currently underway and should be completed by the end of the year.
